Summary Introduction
To review:
The comparison of the digestive communities of the bovine rumen and the human colon with respect to their taxa,
Introduction:
Digestive microbiomes are present in almost all vertebrate animals. The most important of them are ruminants that are present in cattle, sheep, and others. They help to digest the food eaten by these animals in the fermentation chamber known as the rumen. Thus, they provide protein-rich food and fiber to the animals.
